Tim Lovett

Tim Lovett co-founded Berkshire Property Agents (with Jen Harvey) in 2007 with the goal of creating a full-service real estate company that would combine state-of-the-art marketing with hyper-local personal service, now affiliated with Compass and their peerless technology and company culture. A son of the Berkshires who grew up on Otis Reservoir and attended high school in Lee before graduating from St. Michael’s College, Tim worked in global advertising in New York for 20 years, often in London and Paris, while also building a software company with offices in Tokyo and New York.

Tim returned to the Berkshires full-time in 2000 and is well-versed in the needs and concerns of both weekenders and year-round residents. He especially enjoys introducing the Berkshires to newcomers, helping them discover the region's cultural bounty and natural beauty by recommending everything from favorite restaurants and farmer's markets to boat launches and hiking trails.

Tim has developed a reputation by being industrious and gregarious. He aims to make the process of buying or selling a house a pleasurable experience for all parties. His enthusiasm for real estate comes from his self-professed "obsession" with houses. He lives in a restored, vintage cottage on Lake Garfield in Monterey and in an 1830 Greek Revival in Great Barrington, where he fulfilled one of his longtime dreams by building a boathouse with a lakefront sleeping porch.  He bought and renovated a 19th-century Greek Revival house on Martha's Vineyard along with a mid-century butterfly roofed home in Palm Springs, California. He and his business partner, Jen Harvey, have assembled a team that shares their work ethic, commitment to community and appreciation for rural life. They designed their storefront office at 12 Railroad Street in Great Barrington to reflect their personalities--collegial, welcoming, stylish and pet-friendly. "I choose to live and work in the Berkshires," says Tim, "because of the natural beauty, and the people here are smart and worldly, yet down to earth."

Tim was a Conservation Commissioner in the town of Monterey and sat on the boards of Berkshire MLS, Berkshire Visitors Bureau and Berkshire Natural Resources Council, and he is an advisor to the Berkshire Film and Media Commission.
